Hair health begins with the internal – the most important. What you put into your body reflects on the outside; especially important for most of us concerned with the beauty aspects of hair, skin, and nails.

Water

The amount of water you consume actually varies by person. I don’t stick to the “8 glasses a day” rule because we are all different. You should drink a little less than half your body weight in ounces of water per day. If you exercise, you should add 16 oz to the total for every 45 minutes of strenuous activity. For every ounce of caffeinated beverage that you drink, you need to drink and additional 2 oz of water.

Fruits/ Vegetables

Try to consume fruits and veggies with a high water content; red-orange fruits and veggies, leafy greens, citrus & berries.

* I try to be consistant with eating my fruits and veggies, but if not at least I know I already had some from my vitamins.
Ever since I went natural (7/11) and started eating healthier I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin and my hair.

Can this sentence be clarified, please?:

“You should drink a little less than half your body weight in ounces of water per day.”

Is that right because that seems like it’d be a lot of water to consume in a day.

@ African Violet

I’ve always heard that you should divide how much you weigh into half, and that’s how many ounces of water you should drink each day

Ex: 140 lbs/2 = 70 ounces of water (8 – 8oz glasses and some change)

Thank you, Christina! That’s clearer to me now.
